assembly in both directions slightly while pushing assembly against valve body until
actuator drops into slot in valve ball as shown in Figure 12. There should be no gap
between the actuator assembly and the valve body as shown below.

cap screws line up with the tapped holes on the valve body. The actuator assembly may
be positioned in rotational increments of 45° on the valve body. Replace the 1/2" bolt
and washer that were removed in Step 2. Secure with a thread locker (Blue Loctite #242)
and tighten to 5-7 Ft-Lb.

the actuator to the valve. Fasten the actuator assembly to valve body assembly by
tightening the #10-24 socket head cap screws in an X pattern to a torque of 5 ft-lb.
